TAVERNERS' TEST

Published: 23 July, 2008

Could this be why England's cricketers crashed in the Ashes tour? Two of the country's top batsmen, Marcus Trescothick and Michael Vaughan, raised a glass to Tyrrell's Wines at the end of this summer's international and county matches. At the beginning of the season, Tyrrell's agreed to offer the proceeds of a glass of its Old Winery Wine for every run scored by Trescothick and a bottle for every catch to The Lord's Taverners, a charity that aims to give young people, particularly those with special needs, a sporting chance. When Trescothick was injured in the summer, his role was taken up by Vaughan.
